As more women enter the workplace and have greater responsibility, why aren’t there more female CEOs? This question was posed by the venerable Pew Research Center. The results show that many respondents believe that the number one reason is the “old boy network” and that women haven’t been in the work force in large enough numbers for long enough.
These statistics are interesting and provide insight into just how we perceive women in the work place. The Pew Research Center has more data and information about women in the workplace and attitudes of women towards work here.
One way to advance the place of women in the workforce is to network with others who have the same mindset for professional and personal improvement.
